U. S. MARINE MAKES GOOD

Dennis Keever, of Hanover, Has Qualified As a Marksman.

In an official bulletin issued by Headquarters, United States Marine Corps., 
Washington, appears the name of Dennis Keever, of this place, as having 
qualified as a marksman in that most interesting branch of the Government 
service.

Dennis, who is a son of Mrs. Addie Keever, 315 Locust Street, enlisted in the 
United States Marine Corps at its Baltimore, Md., recruiting station on October 
6, 1915, and is now serving as a guard at the U. S. Naval Magazine, Indian Head, 
Md., where he is having many interesting experiences.

Considering the fact that Keever is scarcely more than a recruit, his 
performance in gunnery is looked upon by marine Corps officials as little short 
of marvelous, and they expect him to break many marksmanship records before his 
enlistment expires.
